On the arena.
Xuan Ji didn't wait for Ji Miaomiao to make a move. He jumped up with a sword in hand and attacked in an instant.
The sword was sharp and powerful, with a sound of breaking through the air. As soon as Ji Miaomiao got close to it, she knew that if she took the sword head-on, she would definitely not feel good.
She dodged the sword with a flash of her body, but before she could stand firm, she felt another sword coming at her from behind, leaving her no chance to use her magic.
Ding! Ding! Ding!!
Xuan Ji attacked with sword after sword on the field. Ji Miaomiao had no chance to fight back and could only dodge left and right in circles on the field.
This high platform was built by Qianqing Temple specifically for disciples to compete in martial arts. The stone bricks on it are extremely hard. After many martial arts competitions, few people could leave any traces.
clang!
At this moment, Ji Miaomiao dodged a sword narrowly but found that Xuan Ji's sword had just hit the ground and left a shallow sword mark on the ground.
"What a sharp sword energy." She raised her eyes and whispered.
Xuan Ji's sword strikes missed many times in succession, and he paused for a moment. Upon hearing this, the corners of his lips curled up and he said to her, "Junior sister, you have good skills, but you won't be able to dodge my next move."
Upon hearing this, Ji Miaomiao's expression became more serious.
She looked up and saw Xuan Ji pause, forming a seal with his hands. The copper coin sword floated steadily in the air, and he shouted in a low voice: "The sword body turns into energy, and all the swords become one. Go!"
Before he finished speaking, the copper coin sword instantly produced countless sword shadows as Xuan Ji's gestures changed, and then turned into nine sword formations, all attacking Ji Miaomiao together.
"Chance!"
Ji Miaomiao immediately responded to Xuan Ji's words, and had nowhere to hide from this move, but the short moment it took for this move to be used also gave her a chance to fight back.
She raised her eyes and smiled imperceptibly, then slid one hand rapidly in the air, drawing a vague talisman in the air with the clear air like a dragon.
Fu Cheng, Ji Miaomiao shouted softly: "Go."
The sword formation formed by Xuan Qing's nine sword energies and Ji Miaomiao's vague talisman collided in an instant, making a violent collision sound.
The two figures were shrouded in the dust, and the audience below the stage could not see what was happening on the stage for a moment, and began to talk among themselves.
"What was that just now?" someone asked, looking at the stage.
"One of them is using the Qingyun Temple sword technique, and the other one is using... talismans, drawing talismans in the void!" Taoist Master Daoming explained to everyone in the crowd.
There was surprise at the end of his tone. He hadn't expected that Ji Miaomiao had actually mastered the Void Drawing Talismans in that booklet to some extent in just a month or so.
"Look, the winner is decided!"
Someone said something, and Taoist Master Daoming looked up at the platform, and saw two people scattered on both sides. After the dust settled, one was standing and the other was kneeling.
Ji Miaomiao was the one standing.
She looked at Xuan Ji, who was half-kneeling on the ground holding a sword, and said lightly, "Brother, I'm grateful for your kindness."
There was a trace of blood at the corner of Xuan Ji's mouth, and his breathing was heavy and he was gasping.
After hearing this, he raised his hand to wipe away the blood, looked up at Ji Miaomiao opposite him and said, "Junior sister, that move just now was..."
"Five Thunder Talisman." She said lightly with a smile on her lips.
"Wudaoguan, Xuan Jing advances to the finals!"
Taoist Master Daocheng spoke up, bringing the fight between the two people on the stage to an end.
A moment later, Xuan Ji was injured and was taken to the hospital for treatment by the disciples of Ganqing Temple. Ji Miaomiao was fine and walked down the platform by herself and came to the audience.
Pah pah pah!!
When she just came down, she didn't see where Taoist Master Daoming was, but she saw Lu Xiaobai, who had a smile on his face and was clapping for her vigorously, as well as Chen Xuanxuan and Lin Yiwan beside him.
"Junior sister, you were really good at drawing talismans in the void just now! Xuanji didn't deserve to lose!" Lu Xiaobai said with a smile.
"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Brother." Ji Miaomiao curled her lips into a faint smile, and then she casually asked, "I haven't seen you these past two days. Didn't you come to participate in the competition?"
"I am here, but something happened at Xuanxuan's home these past two days. I didn't stay in the temple for long after the competition and went out for a while."
When Ji Miaomiao heard this, she noticed that Chen Xuanxuan's expression was a little depressed, and she no longer had the energetic look she had when they met before.
Lin Yiwan whispered something beside him, as if trying to comfort him.
Ji Miaomiao and Chen Xuanxuan had only met a few times and their relationship was not close. It would be a bit too complicated to discuss this topic in detail, so she didn't continue asking.
"Brother, have you finished the competition?"
"Yeah, I just finished competing on the other platform."
After the game, Ji Miaomiao had nothing else to do that afternoon, so she stood on the stage and chatted with Lu Xiaobai for a while.
After all the competitions on stage are over, the list of top ten will be announced.
Lu Xiaobai and Ji Miaomiao went on stage together to draw lots to get their numbers for the finals.
After the draw, Taoist Master Daocheng explained that one of the top ten disciples was unable to continue the competition due to a serious injury, and one of the nine of them would be given a bye and go directly to the next round.
"Who drew number 9?" Taoist Master Daocheng asked the few people.
Ji Miaomiao drew number three, and she looked up at the other people on the field. The next second, she saw Lu Xiaobai step forward and say, "It's my disciple."
"Byes in the next round."
"yes."
Ji Miaomiao sighed inwardly when she heard this.
The treatment of the protagonist Lu Xiaobai is really good sometimes, but it’s a pity that I, a passerby, can’t envy it. If I want to get a ranking, I still have to continue the competition honestly.
After drawing lots, the two walked down the platform together, chatting casually while watching the game continue.
Perhaps the stalemate in the competition on stage was a bit boring, and as the two of them were chatting, the topic somehow turned to fortune-telling.
